Anyone tried the Margiela? Seems to be getting quite a bit of attention.
I’ve seen nice reviews, but haven’t tried it…I think it’s just launching in the US around now, but also don’t know where. (not much help!)
Check with Daisy…think she’s taking names for an upcoming split (next month?). I’m trying to resist, and the boxwood is helping, but this certainly didn’t. 😀
It’s my absolute fav for so many occasions. I was at the launch in NYC what I swear was at least 2 years ago, it just never got too much attention for a while and was hard to find except in the Margiela stores which luckily I’m close to. I am going in for my second bottle tmrw actually as a reward to myself for something job related (!) but i’d still be into a bit from a split for a purse atomizer. It is such a well done fragrance IMO, I find it pretty unisex, but sexy in a very margiella way. It really matches the brand to me, which I’m a big fan of anyway. I have not smelled anything like it really, but I am in no way even a level 5 perfume freak yet, aspiring. I do however notice a note quite clearly in the dry down that is in nuit de tuberose. Always have wondered what it was and if anyone else picks that up?
I still have not tried it, so I’ll be no help, sorry!
I was in on a split last year, and have been using it sparingly until this last week, its a really good green with a touch of dirt, I’m getting a full bottle….
